Dave in Chad, Rachael has some time on her hands

Dave has gone to Chad to get our team leader and his family who've just come back from a short visit to the US. That's kind of a simple way of putting it. But we are glad they are coming back and excited to see them again.

In the mean time Ben and I are staying at the hospital compound so we won't be out in the village all by ourselves. we might stay out there is we had a car, but we don't, and therefore its best to be near other people. Especially since I've been having a lot of dizzy spells and tiredness lately. Ive had everything you could check checked. My Blood pressure is normal, My blood sugar is normal, I was checked for malaria yesterday. I'm not dehydrated. I just get so tired I have to lay down and can't get up to do anything or else I see spots or my head spins around. Last night I started to feel better when the air cooled down. I was doing great today until the air heated back up, at about 7:30:)

So here we are. Ben is playing with the compound's kitchen set and putting couch protectors over his head, pretending he is wearing a head covering like I do. Its hot but thankfully we have the fans and cold water. About a week ago the electricity went out for four days and we didn't have fans or cold water. It was a very hard time for me. I admit I could have handled the situation better. But I learned a lot, including to decide to have a good attitude when things like that happen, because you have to DECIDE to have a good attitude. You aren't going to just have one. Its too crummy of a situation:)

Here is a video of Ben helping with dinner. its kind of long but worth it. If you would like to see a video of him in the car on the way down to Cameroon check out Margit Moody's blog. the link is on the left side of my page.
